Hi all the van is almost here and am having a hard time deciding on a type of cover for it as a carport will not fit or suit our house any way the company that makes them is called stormcovers Australia . there r two types to buy there is a
grey type that breaths keeps uv off but not water proof. the second one is fully water proof ,uv proof,has a layer of high density foam on the inside to keep hail damage to a minimum . The second one is my pick but im worried about it not being able to breath and sweeting thus destroying the van . so dose anyone have ether type of cover and how long have u had it and do u get any problems like sweeting,mould,rubbing,ect . hope to here lots of replys and ill say thanks for the repl
ps spell
check not working
cheers nicko

Howdy Nicko, we have a Sunland Prestige Caravan Cover that we bought about three years ago for about $350.00 & from your above description of what you are considering fits into the "
grey type that breathes etc." The top (roof) section is waterproof, but the remainder is material that breathes. We are more than happy with it.
However.......... I recently noticed that a decal map of Australia that I put on the van about 12 months ago has signs of being "rubbed". There does not appear to be any rubbing on the paint work of the van, but will be keeping a close watch.
Our van is a pop top & we store it with top up & windows a little open & we do not experience mildew. Max time that the van would be covered to date would be about six months.
I am working hard on how I can convert the storage time to on road time!!
Hope the info helps a little & cheers.

I have the exact same cover and
mine is nearly buggered after 2 years. it rubs badly on the corners and the material has broken down. i removed it a couple of weeks ago and when i went to pull it over the side it ripped open where i grabbed it,then the sewn on velcro strap got hooked under the awning and tore it out leaving a nice hole in it again!! tossed it in the bin-no more cover
